Former Secretary of State Colin Powell has become the latest political figure to fall victim to email hacking and lets just say he had some interesting things to say about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump!
According to Buzzfeed, the website DCLeaks.com leaked emails from the 79-year-old where he was sited calling Trump “a national disgrace” that “is in the process of destroying himself.” Apparently the emails were sent back in June to journalist Emily Miller, a woman who also used to work as Powell’s aide. Too bad that wasn’t all the shade throwing Powell was doing.

In an Aug. 21 email from Powell to Miller, he blasted Trump for embarking on a “racist” movement that believes President Obama was not born in the US.
“Yup, the whole birther movement was racist,” Powell wrote. “That’s what the 99% believe. When Trump couldn’t keep that up he said he also wanted to see if the certificate noted that he was a Muslim.”
Powell told BuzzFeed News, “I have no further comment. I’m not denying it.”
“As I have said before, ‘What if he was?’ Muslims are born as Americans everyday,” Powell wrote to his former aide.
Powell then recounted President Obama’s qualifications, including his graduation from Harvard as an editor of the Law Review.
Powell went on to write that Trump’s reported adviser, Roger Ailes — the former chair and CEO of Fox News who left the company after allegations of sexual harassment — wouldn’t help Trump with winning over women voters.
“And Ailes as an advisor wont heal women, don’t you think?” Powell wrote.
In an email from May of this year, with the subject line “racism,” Powell reiterated a position he had taken in that past, writing, “Or as I said before the 2012 election, ‘There is a level of intolerance in parts of the Republican Party.’”
And in a December 2015 email to CNN anchor Fareed Zakaria, Powell recounted his aversion to speaking about Trump to the press, writing, “You guys are playing his game, you are his oxygen. He outraged us again today with his comments on Paris no-go for police districts. I will watch and pick the timing, not respond to the latest outrage.”
If you thought that was shady you should see what he allegedly said about Hillary!
“I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, non transformational, with a husband still d*cking bimbos at home (according to the NYP),” he apparently emailed to Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds back in July 2014.
He even spilled tea on how The Obamas and The Clintons really felt about each other and allegedly Hillary is salty because she lost the Democratic nomination to Obama back in 2008!
Looks like this may have some potential to become real messy seeing how the Presidential elections are around the corner. One things for sure, each and ever one of them deserves and Oscar! Lets chat below!
